Need some help with a Bolex C8SL

Recommended Posts

Just got hold of my first Bolex – a C8SL (images below). I wanted to start off with something stripped down and easy to use as I've never shot on Double 8 before, only Super 8. The camera is in beautiful condition – only it didn't come with a handle. There's a few for sale on eBay, but there's differences between them. Which would fit a C8SL?

There's this one with a black trigger – https://tinyurl.com/bolexblacktrigger

And this one with a silver trigger and extra piece of metal – https://tinyurl.com/bolexsilvertrigger

Hello. The grip you need for your C8SL is the Chrome Trigger.

The black trigger version is incorrectly labeled and works on the later pocket 8mm cameras D8, P1, P2, P3.
